VT935 Boulton Paul P.111A
Baginton, Midland Air Museum 27/06/2022
Although not appearing to be immediately significant to the untrained eye, the P.111A is an important piece of aircraft history, being the first plane to test the abilities of a tailless delta wing design.

Losses of aircraft and crew were massive, young lads barely 18 yrs old were given flying lessons, basic training, then sent to fight. Most were shot down and killed with a matter of days ...
During World War I, the lumbering Reconnaissance Experimental 8 was the most widely used British two-seater biplane on the Western Front. A descendant of the R.E.7, it was initially developed for reconnaissance work but also saw service as a bomber and ground attack aircraft. Nicknamed the "Harry Tate," after a well known music hall performer of the day, it provided a stable platform for photographic missions but suffered from poor maneuverability, leaving it vulnerable to attack by enemy fighters. Despite heavy losses, the R.E.8 remained in service throughout the war.
On the morning of 13 April 1917, 59 Squadron's ill fated flight of six R.E.8s was on a photo-reconnaissance mission near Douai when it encountered Jasta 11. All six R.E.8s were shot down within a matter of minutes, one of them becoming Manfred von Richthofen's forty first victory.
"Jastas 11" : (Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 11 ("No 11 Fighter Squadron") was founded on 28 September 1916 from elements of 4 armee's Keks 1, 2 and 3 and mobilized on 11 October as part of the German Air Service's expansion program, forming permanent specialised fighter squadrons, or "Jastas". It became the most successful fighter squadron in the German Air Service

It's cropdusting time in the Sacramento Valley as an early running Cortena turn makes its way south (west) down the CFNR West Valley at Genevra. A good bit of stagnant runoff sets up a reflection as a well timed work plane runs ovals over the almonds.
Was out in the garden photographing some flowers and above me flew the Emirates A380. I didn't have time to get the tripod as well as the zoom lense so not the best quality. Will look out for it again another day....tripod at the ready :)
